The more and more I look up questions on SwiftUI, the more I realise what a mistake it was bothering to use it. Should have just stayed focused on Swift and would have got so much more done. 😒 Can’t set colours of certain UI elements, can’t clear TextFields on touch, can’t have a simple bar on top of the keyboard apparently!? 🤷♂️
Johnson began his sentencing of the #Filton4 by saying they had taken the law into their own hands
And then, when he passed sentence, he decided to introduce a 'terrorist component' of one year to each of the four even though they had not been convicted as terrorists.
He himself is literally taking the law into his own hands
🤬
"Palestine Action activists sentenced as terrorists
The ruling marks the first time in UK legal history that protesters convicted of criminal damage face a 'terrorism connection' upon sentencing
A British judge has sentenced four Palestine Action protesters as terrorists.
The unprecedented ruling came despite jurors convicting them of criminal charges not connected to terrorism during prosecution.
Last month, jurors convicted Leona Kamio, Samuel Corner, Fatema Rajwani, and Charlotte Head of criminal damage in connection with a raid on an Elbit Systems UK plant near Bristol on 6 August 2024.
Two other activists, Jordan Devlin and Zoe Rogers, were cleared of the charges.
Elbit Systems is a British division of the Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit, which produces drones and other weapons systems used in Israel's genocide in Gaza."

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt.
In 1942, on her 13th birthday, she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

Judging by this sign in the car park, Darth Vader shops in Sainsbury's at Braehead in Glasgow. I'd always presumed he'd use the Forge! Sorry, I'll get my coat! 😀.

Brands worldwide, hear me. Putting David fucking Beckham in yer ads guarantee I wouldn’t buy yer shit. Thankfully it’s brands like Stella (InBev), Walkers, pish whisky.
Reform UK have promoted hate and racism, not just online, but on our streets and in our parliament.
Scotland must stand together against their hate.
Staff at an immigration detention centre wore England flags pinned to their uniforms while guarding #asylumseekers, a report from the prisons and detention watchdog has revealed.
Their use by staff at one of the Home Office’s short-term holding facilities to detain migrants is revealed in the Independent Monitoring Boards’ national annual report, published yesterday.
But if you wear a #Palestine badge whilst working for the NHS, you are subject to disciplinary procedure.
This man is a threat to our democracy. He backs violence and extremism.
Blaming a group of people for the awful actions of an individual leads us to a very dark place.
Musk, Lowe, Farage, Robinson - these men don't give a shit about this country, they want to rip us apart.
@Geri I'd remind you that the USA is hosting an uncontrolled outbreak of measles as well as the world cup. Again it is federal policy that no precautions to prevent spread of this fatal and disabling disease are undertaken.
Elon Musk’s X will face no action to remove a mass of posts inciting violence in Northern Ireland for at least two months, despite widespread condemnation of the platform and its billionaire owner.
Saying that taxing billionaires won’t solve social problems is like saying stopping burglars getting in your house won’t stop traffic jams.
Am I the only one annoyed by oft-repeated Internet factoids that are technically true, but lack important context? For example, everyone says LaserDisc was launched in 1978, but that was only a test-market release of just 25 players(!) in Atlanta, Georgia in December 1978, which all sold out in one day. Seattle was next in February 1979, but the true nationwide U.S. launch of LaserDisc didn't happen until the end of 1980: https://www.cedmagic.com/history/discovision-marketed.html
When they say, "The people have valid concerns about immigration," what they really mean is, "The people have racist concerns about immigration"

This is very cool. A view under a Swiss train as it changes from metre gauge to standard (1435mm or 4' 8.5”) all while still moving. Impressive!
If we could perhaps focus on things that should be forced upon people instead of AI, crippling debt, and general dystopia. Things like common decency, basic good manners, deodorant. It can't be that difficult, right?
Right?
